Chapter 3: Dryer Supports
Guidelines for Supporting the Dryer with Leg Stands
Before filling the dryer with grain, the dryer frame must be supported with either concrete blocks or leg
stands. Leg stands are optional and available in seven different sizes to accommodate various dryer
heights.
Leg Stand Height Options
Leg stands are optional and must be ordered separately from your dryer. If you do not have leg stands,
you must support the dryer with concrete blocks.

Leg Stand Spacing
Correct leg spacing is important to adequately support the dryer during operation. Incorrect spacing can
result in unstable operating conditions.
Leg Spacing for Quiet Portable Dryers
Starting at the back corner of the dryer (A), space legs 4 ft (1.22 m) apart and move towards the front (B).
Spacing between the front legs (C) can be 2 ft (0.61 m) or 4 ft (1.22 m), depending on the length of the
dryer. The fan and heater (D) extend out from the plenum and is supported by the fan and heater supports
(E).
